Explain how in fucks name could an animal possibly give their consent to have intercourse with a human being

Do you really want to know? I find it a little uncomfortable to talk about, so I'll use spoilers.

Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide

Ever hear about dogs and some other animals humping people/other species and things... Particularly desperate female animals in heat will sometimes display themselves to the nearest male anything, too.

I'm not saying that it's not strange, to say the least, but some animals... Really have a one-track mind.

Well, that's why the buffalo were almost entirely eliminated from America. Natives took what they needed for their survival for thousands upon thousands of years - Europeans came and in less than 200 years, buffalo for nearly extinct. We could learn a thing or two from animals. When they kill each other, they take only what is necessary and what is needed; nothing more, nothing less.

Excess for food consumption and over-breeding are a result of greed and money making. Needs to be stopped. We kill too much and waste too much. Absolutely unnecessary.

I just hope humanity will positively progress and advance in the coming centuries. That popular concept of a future with utopian societies because people progressed enough in terms of intelligence and academics that we started to wisen up to much of our ignorance, immorality, and foolish ways, and started to, more and more, learn to be wiser, kinder, more tolerant, and more ethically sound. But of course, plenty of us worry that in 300 to 400 years, instead of a notably more ideal world, we'll have a dystopian future on our hands instead.

As for Earth in the next 100 years...I'm not very optimistic. I see us not progressing much as an entire race in the coming decades, leading up to 100 years from now. I hope I'm wrong. It'd be great if in 100 years from now, humanity and the world are definitely better and have significantly progressed and improved.

Doubtful. For every step forward we take, we take several steps more back. We've never learned from our past mistakes, and have only repeated them over and over regardless of how much our technology has advanced.

Yeah...As long as people have free will and individual personalities and opinions, there will be no such thing as a utopia. Not even close.

1984 - we're already there!

We won't improve; we'll just keeping on causing wars, killing millions and standing against each other when we should be standing with each other.

Calling it. New Loli PSA thread right here. I'm just hoping this will encourage more productive discussion on the morals...Of our society...The blah blah blah.

Sarcasm aside, I don't really agree with it either. But I assume that unless one lives in those countries where these things exist there's really nothing that can be done. That, and there will always be those who defend it. So there's that to worry about as well. I might get my post modded for this, hell I might get banned for it, but a term of relevance as to WHY these things are a bad idea: Mr. Hands.

Well people do a lot sicker things to animals than having sex with them. It's not like this is a news flash. It's been going on for years the bad treatments of animals. I'm surprised to see the government openly support brothels though, but they haven't exactly been working hard on creating better circumstances for animals.

Just want to point out to OP that if having sex with animals is rape, then putting animals in the zoo is abduction and killing them for food is murder. We can't put animals and humans under the same law, that's not how it works.

ps. note that i'm not supporting these acts, just trying to look at it objectively.

I'm cool with it.. as long as the animal is okay with it. If not then... animal cruelty. Simple as that.

Are you insane? The animal can never give proper consent. It is not intelligent enough to do so. Every single sexual act with an animal is rape. Brutal rape of an non-consenting, unwilling, unknowing and unwanting creature.

The only animals that want sexual things done to them would be a female in heat or a male catching the scent of the female in heat. And even then, the sex between the creatures is for propagating - not for fun or amusement like a human!

That does not make it okay in any way, shape or form.

Are you saying animals can't enjoy sex?

why do they do most of these things then?

LOL this is sick but me too, when I read this, I read 'anime brothel' :d That's undoubtedly my subconscious desires for a cosplay brothel playing up... Japan has those places (in a legal gray area, but they're accepted, if I ever go to Japan I want to go to one! Cosplay brothel, how cool is that!? If it's a respectively-run establishment off course, but from what I learned at university most are XD), and they would be legal in my country too, I am just sad we don't have any :-(

They did have an anime cosplay theme day at a licensed, legal, well-known, all-consentual-over-18-girls brothel 5 minutes walking from the country's biggest anime convention last year tough! I am still a bit sad I didn't have money, otherwise I would have go 'play' with Miku XD (Most of the girls who worked there were anime fans who were going to the convention anyway, so they decided to do this in the evening for lolz instead of shutting the place down for the weekend XD They had Miku outfit, and chii from Chobits, and maids, and... XD It sounded fun (^_^) ) (As to why I know this... I talked for like 45 minutes with one of the girls on Saturday at the con by chance, really nice person )

Anyway, back to the topic at hand: this is too juck to describe properly. It's a shame one can not make these kind of things illegal after they happen, it's a good principle off course, but in situations like this it would allow people doing this to be arrested. Right now, all we can do is make it illegal going into the future, but we can not arrest these people right now :-(

Yeah not only is it gross, it's dangerous. I remember when this happened here in Washington:http://www.komonews.com/news/archive/4158101.html
^^^If you don't want to read that some farm was letting people have sex with their animals and a dude died having sex with an Arabian Stallion. And re-reading that article, I now know that having sex with animals is not illegal in this state.
